Social Darwinism
My friends Chris and Steve
developed a theory called Social Darwinism. Just as in Darwin's Evolutionary
survival of the fittest; the theory supposes that over time those people who
are not strong enough friends will fall away and that the remainder will be a
closely knit batch of true friends. Fallout can occur a number of ways: One is
through transformation into a monster, (Screwing multiple friend's girlfriends
or multiple friends (note the apostrophe) girlfriends, etc.). Actually, writing this down, it seems that Girls are a pretty quick tool for becoming a monster. Another, through
less evil act of fallout is moving more than one hour away from your friends. (Michigan == 30 minutes away, Brookfield == 25 minutes away, Canada ~45 minutes away, Chicago == 3 hours away)
So what happens when an otherwise good friends leaves the state for greener career pastures? How can this person stay in close contact with his friends and how will he prevent himself from becoming a pariah? I think you can stay good friends with someone even if you don't see them every weekend or even every month. It takes effort and if you think your friendship is valuable, that effort becomes a non-issue.
